Summer Strum Ukulele Festival 2026 will take place
17th-20th July.
Hoylake Rugby Club, Carham Road, Wirral CH47 4FF
​
​
​
The Summer Strum is a free ukulele festival, run by volunteers, which utilises the magical powers of this small but mighty instrument to combat loneliness, promote inclusivity & create community wellbeing.
This weekend-long event hosts 3 stages with more than 60 ukulele bands from all over the world.
​
There's also camping, stalls, food, bars, workshops, storytelling, inflatables, a kids craft tent, jam sessions, power-ballad workouts, a big-red-busking-bus and a Summer Strum Parish Sunday Service (praise the uke)!
​
Nobody leaves this festival without new friends and a grin on their face.
All this for free AND to raise money for our charities
Wirral Mind and Wirral Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Band applications for 2026 are now CLOSED
Thanks so much for the overwhelming response!
We'll be in touch with bands and performers by the end of February to confirm slots.
This year all profits raised will go to Wirral Mind
